We lift up your brother in earnest prayer before the throne of grace, trusting in the healing power of our Lord Jesus Christ. The weight of mental illness is heavy, and we stand with you in intercession, believing that God is able to restore, renew, and deliver according to His perfect will.
Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, for there is no other name by which we can approach You. Your Word declares in Philippians 2:9-11, "Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." We claim this truth over your brother’s life, believing that Jesus is the Great Physician who heals both body and mind.
Lord, we ask for Your divine healing to touch your brother’s mind. Your Word tells us in Psalm 147:3, "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds." We pray that You would bind up the wounds of his mind and spirit, bringing clarity, peace, and restoration. We rebuke the spirit of confusion, fear, and torment in the name of Jesus, for 2 Timothy 1:7 declares, "For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." Let Your perfect love cast out all fear, and let Your peace that surpasses all understanding guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
We also pray for deliverance, Lord. Your Word assures us in James 5:15, "And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven." We ask that You would break every chain of bondage in his life, whether spiritual, emotional, or physical. We stand on the promise of Isaiah 61:1, "The Lord Yahweh’s Spirit is on me, because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to those who are bound." Let this liberty be manifest in his life, Father.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord on his behalf, standing firm in faith even when circumstances seem overwhelming. Remember the story of the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5:25-34. She pressed through the crowd, believing that if she could just touch the hem of Jesus’ garment, she would be made whole. And she was. Let this be a testimony to you—press in, believe, and do not lose heart. God is faithful.
We also urge you to surround your brother with godly support—believers who can pray with and for him, as well as professionals who can provide medical and therapeutic care. Proverbs 11:14 reminds us, "Where there is no counsel, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." Seek out those who can walk alongside him in wisdom and love.
Father, we ask that You would strengthen your brother’s faith and draw him closer to You. Let him experience Your presence in tangible ways, knowing that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who have a contrite spirit. We pray for his salvation if he does not yet know You as Lord and Savior, for Romans 10:9 says, "That if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." May he come to know the hope and peace that only You can provide.
We declare Your promises over his life: that he is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), that You have plans for him—plans for welfare and not for evil, to give him a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11), and that nothing is impossible for You (Luke 1:37). We trust You, Lord, to work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28).
In the precious name of Jesus, we pray for complete healing, deliverance, and restoration for your brother. May Your will be done in his life, and may Your name be glorified through his testimony. Amen.
